Is it possible to upgrade a .net compact 1.1 application to 2.0, but still
keep the Sql Server CE version intact? I mean, not upgrade to a SQL SErver
2005 Mobile Edition db?

I'm having trouble synchronizing a Sql Server 2000 database with SQL Server
2005 Mobile Edition database.

Thank you.
 
No. That combination of things, SQL Mobile and .NET CF 2, is not supported
and won't work.

Thanks Paul.

Do you know why I would be getting an error that looks like this when I run
the Synchronize() method? This is between a sql server 2000 database and a
sql server 2005 mobile edition database.

Message: "The specified data type is not valid. [ Data type (if known) =
varchar ]"

Appreciate it.
 
Sorry. I have some random pieces of information floating around in my head
concerning the database components, but I don't do databases on a daily
basis.

Could it be you are trying to put stirng into the varchar that with a length
greater than the databasefield?
Another thing i have noticed (but i have not tested in the release version
yet) is a problem with nVarchar's larger than 128.

Thank you Erik.

This Synchronize() method call is made at the beginning of the application,
in which case the table is getting created for the first time.
Shouldn't SS2005Mobile just copy down the table as it is on the SS2000
database?

Sorry, i do not use the synchronisation, as I wanna be in control myself.
Sounds like an unsupported type to me. Did you check

Just a wild guess, but i would try changing the server db to use
nvarchar instead of varchars.. and then perhaps the mobile db will be
created with such (and not try to make the nonsupported varchar)
